pass values in alarm manager

Question

how can we pass the value to receiver...i am using alarm manager...

Answer 1

Use a PeningIntent, whose Intent has bundled extras.

This is modified from the AlarmController Google APIDemo:

        Intent intent = new Intent(AlarmController.this, RepeatingAlarm.class);
        intent.putExtra("some_name", some_value);
        PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(AlarmController.this,
                0, intent, 0);

        // We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now.
        long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
        firstTime += 15*1000;

        // Schedule the alarm!
        AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
                        firstTime, 15*1000, sender);

Then retrieve those in your Receiver's onReceive():

intent.getStringExtra("some_name")
